<p>Both ED1 and ED2 signify the same thing to adcoms and will give you the same boost in admission: it shows you’re passionate about Wesleyan.</p>
<p>For this reason, I’m pretty sure that ED gives a boost to anyone who applies through it, because it does show that you really want to be at Wesleyan. People who really want to be at Wesleyan often happen to be the same people who belong at Wesleyan. (But don’t stress if you can’t apply ED for financial reasons or whatever; they understand.)</p>
